POLL: Trying out one server to play league style

FragFailure

If (TV5 for example) was changed into a password Ville server for league style. Would you try it out? I mentioned TV5 because it is almost always empty.

league style could be interesting to try, but not to be in a league or anything liek that, i don't so leagues, neither does usv of jFf, but since its ville, heck why not? i'm prety sure it'd be good by the rules.

If that's what it will take to quell the complaints on all the other servers about not playing by league rules, I am all for it. I certainly won't be joining any games on that server and complaining about league rules.

What would it do to TheVille? There is no telling. It's already gone from the fun ole days of Turkeyburgerville to SkillVille. Whatever it takes to get the Turkeyburgerville fun days of just fraggin back on the regular servers, I will support it.

I can't in my right mind vote to bring competition into TheVille mainstream more than it already is, so I can't vote yes. But if it becomes a reality, more power to it.

That's a HUGE step for TheVille to take. Talk about having two worlds under one roof.

Im up for this potential new server:

Positives-
1) It should quell all the fighting for now
2) It could provide a unique experience for those not accustomed to league rules
3) Diversity in TheVille

But how would you enforce league rules in the server? You can't really have an admin 24/7. But I can still forsee a whole lotta bannings/kicks from TV5 now...

Negatives-
1) Enforcement
2) Potential split in Ville members = this one primarily concerns me, if we did do this there would be a group of people within the Ville who would eventually become hardcore league players - splitting from the rest of TheVille and possibly eventually dividing TheVille into two = one side as league players and the other as non-league

i would say why not, but i certainly won't join that server. Those rules suck. Like that the game ain't fun anymore.

No chasing?????? So that means if somebody passes you you must let him trough. How in the hell can that be good for your team. Lettingg the enemy pass. It only makes the game easier for the attackers. You could also just play with one team. Like that you won't have anybody who chases you and you will be able to pas trough without any problems.

Is league style for everyone? No. However you cannot deny that there is a decent sized segment of The Ville that enjoys playing maps like 2chemicalv2, Monkey_l, Openfire_l, Mulch_Trench, and FryComplex in league style.

We do not need to password protect TV5 - we just need to change it's name to TV5_LEAGUE.

Then, in the motd we need to add all the customary rules...no chasing, no potshotting, no more than 1 person to a position, no turtling, o vs d if players < 10. After that you just need to have admins ban for a week for the first infraction and rule inforcement wouldn't be a problem at all.

If you need a couple of (additional) admins for the one server only you could easily find them in the competing clans that hang around here.

If you do not password it, you should at least have some sort of area Villuns can go to and learn all of these new rules. Otherwise, you will just have problems.

Maps will have to be explained as well as where you can and can't shoot people, etc etc. The entire rulebook (or your rules) would basically have to be laid out for everyone to view here on the site. Or at least a link to such material.

By not passwording it, the Llama factor would be high no doubt. Simply calling it a league server won't keep away the many noobs to that style of play. Look how many join servers titled NEo-TFC and still have no idea what is going on.

Sounds interesting. I voted yes. TV5 is often empty with its current rotation and I think there is enough people at theville who compete in clans to make this work. Make me admin and I'll help too. Oh wait I already am yay.

/edit: I dont understand why there is so many "no" votes atm. TV5 is always empty, and no ones making you go if its turned into a league style server...

Having a server for league style sounds fine to me. I hit the wrong button earlier and voted no, but I meant yes. TV5 is never used, so it won't hurt anything I believe.

I don't think a one week ban for a first infraction is good...too harsh in my opinion. I am not sure what the current ban length is on the other servers though, and it might be one week.

Having some very clear rules outlined on the website would be great though.
